Pietenpol-List: Engine Run Report
Original Posted By: shad bell
All,Trying to figure out some posting stuff on You-tube, but I do have a video.With a clear head this morning, my son and I tackled the no-spark issue,trying to run my Corvair on my airframe. Piet builder Jerry Dotson called methis morning, as did Kevin Purtee last night, refreshing my view of theproblem. As these things usually go, the problem was simple.and ignorant.After studying the wiring diagram, provided by Peter Johnson, for the 115thtime, I suddenly realized that I had a hard ground to the coils. They wouldNEVER have fired anything. Quick snip of the two offending wires and shefired right up!The other good news is that my homemade prop didn't even fly apart once!Perseverance pays, as does the help and concern of so many strangers andfriends.Thanks to all who participated,Gary________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2011 14:03:42 -0700 (PDT)

Jack,I am really going to push to see if I can do this with you guys. I won't compromise safety, but I won't waste any time either. Please call me when you leave Lowell. Leave a message if I don't answer. I may still be airborn in the Aeronca. Will there be someone on the ground at Brod to record all this? That would be very cool.Dan H-----Original Message-----
